John,
I'm not sure why you are so irate unless you own one of the establishments that Charles didn't get "recognized". I hope you didn't think he was upset at not being "recognized" as far as people knowing him. I think he meant to say that he didn't get any service for fifteen minutes. I don't care where in the world you are while vacationing but there is one thing for sure, service is a plus. If it wasn't for tourists where would Culebra be without them? And many other destinations. Talk about unemployment!! O.K. I agree. It would still be a wonderful island and many of us, including myself, would enjoy going there. The fact of the matter is people will not come back if they have bad experiences. O.K. now how do the locals make money if there are no tourists? This forum would also not be here. If you look up the definition of forum it states: "an opportunity for open discussions". This means ANY discussions. Why are you getting all upset about this? Charles probably won't come back so leave it alone. I am offended by you calling people "jerks". That is lame!!!
If people have a bad taste for the island when they leave and then they write about it negatively,let them go. You are right, we don't need them back. I will say it again, this is a forum so expect anything. I have visited Culbra seven times now and I have had serious service issues where I'm standing in front of a clerk and for almost twenty minutes I had to listen to her talk to a friend while other people were behind me waiting wondering what the heck I was doing. A little "island time" is fine but when you are being stared down and not giving ANY service is wrong. No, islanders don't have to cater to tourists but it would help sometimes. I love Culebra, Puerto Rico and Vieques. I have dream of opening a businees either in Culebra or Vieques. First I understand that I would have to earn my way. What I mean is being locally accepted by working my butt off and making freinds and neighbors. This is the way to do it. I am sorry that you are so offended by peoples comments but I would get over it. I am coming to Culebra for the eighth time next year and I can't wait to stay in my rented home and go to Juanita Bananas where, at both places, they have exceptional service!!!
RJ
